| Obverse description | Two adjacent facing crowned busts of equal size, their crowns nearly touching at center. A small ring or pellet appears above in the upper field between the crowns, serving as a decorative separator. Below the busts, two rosettes are symmetrically placed in the lower field. The design is rendered in low relief typical of bracteate coinage, with the entire composition contained within a plain inner circle. The facial features are rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner, with pellet eyes and simplified drapery at the shoulders. |
